Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.

Targets For Many Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Many Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets for many built-in indicators as well as external indicators. Targets can be set for specific user-set conditions between two series of values, with the script being able to display targets for two different user-set conditions.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
In the above example, we set targets 3 ATR's away from the closing price when the price crosses over the script built-in SuperTrend indicator using ATR period 10 and factor 3. Using "Long Position Target" allows setting a target above the price, disabling this setting will place targets below the price.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.

Option Buying Pivot and SMA 3 Pivot crossoverThis script is designed as a visual aid for options trading specifically for option buying, providing information about potential entry points, Option levels, and trade outcomes. Here's a summary of the key elements:
1. Pivot Point and True Range:*
- The script calculates the current candle's pivot point, representing an average of high, low, and close prices from the previous candle.
- True range, a measure of volatility, is determined using the high, low, and close prices of the last two candles.
2. Option Levels:
- Downside (PutValue - Red colour line) and upside (CallValue - Green Colour line) are calculated based on the current pivot point and true range.
PutValue = currentCandlePivot + currentCandleTrueRange
CallValue = currentCandlePivot - currentCandleTrueRange
3. Simple Moving Average (SMA) of Pivot Point:
- A 3-period SMA is applied to the pivot point to smooth out fluctuations.
4. Trade Entry Logic:
- Long entry is signalled when the current pivot point is above the SMA. (longEntry = currentCandlePivot > smaPivot)
- At the time of long entry BUY THE CALL OPTION OR SELL THE PUT OPTION near the CallValue Green line
- Short entry is signalled when the current pivot point is below the SMA. (shortEntry = currentCandlePivot < smaPivot)
- At the time of Short entry BUY THE PUT OPTION OR SELL THE CALL OPTION near the PutValue Red line
The indicator having option to change the background of the candle as a green for long; and change the background of the candle as red for short. Also, Having the option to plot as label.
5. Win and Loss Logic:
- Winning conditions are assessed based on the close price relative to CallValue (for Long) and PutValue (for Short).
- Losing conditions are determined similarly.
- winLong = close > CallValue and longEntry
- winShort = close < PutValue and shortEntry
-lossLong = close < CallValue and longEntry
-lossShort = close > PutValue and shortEntry
The indicator having option to change the background of the candle as a green for win; and change the background of the candle as red for loss. Also, Having the option to plot as label.
6. Background Coloring and Plots:
- The script uses background colors to highlight Long, Short, Win, and Loss scenarios.
- Shapes and labels are plotted on the chart to visually represent entry points, stop-loss levels, and trade outcomes.
The overall purpose is to provide traders with a clear visual representation of potential trading opportunities and outcomes, helping them make informed decisions in the options market.
Supertrend Targets [ChartPrime]The Supertrend Targets indicator combines the concepts of trend-following with dynamic volatility-based target levels. It takes core simple and classical concepts and provides actionable insights. The core of this indicator revolves around the "Supertrend" algorithm, which essentially uses the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier to determine if the price of a financial instrument is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator generates various plot points on the trading chart, which traders can use to make informed trading decisions.
Users can set several input parameters such as the source price, custom levels, multiplier scale, length of the average true range, and the window length. Traders can also opt to enable a table that shows numeric target data by percentiles, risk ratio, take profit and stop loss points.
The generated plots and fills on the chart represent various levels of potential gains and drawdowns, acting as potential targets for taking profit or stopping losses. These include the 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 100th percentiles, which are adjustable by scale. There are also plots for average gain and drawdown levels, enhanced by standard deviation curves if enabled.
The Supertrend line indicators are color-coded for ease of understanding: blue for bullish performance and orange for bearish performance. The "Center Line" represents the point at which traders might consider entering a position.
Lastly, the script presents a summary table (when enabled) at the right side of the chart displaying numeric data of the plotted targets. This data provides additional insights on the risk-reward balance for each percentile, helping traders to execute their strategies more effectively.
Here's a comprehensive breakdown of its functionalities and features:
Inputs:
Source: Determines the price series type (e.g., Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
Show Trailing Stop: Option to display the trailing stop on the chart.
Levels: Sets the number of target levels you want to display. Can range from -5 to 5.
Scale: A scaling factor for adjusting targets, can be between 1 to 100.
Window Length: Length for the target computation, determines how many bars will be considered.
Unique: Ensures every data point used in calculations is unique.
Multiplier: Multiplier for the ATR (Average True Range) to compute the SuperTrend.
ATR Length: Period for the ATR computation.
Custom Level: Allows users to set their own levels using various statistics like Average, Average + STDEV, Percentile, or can be disabled.
Percent Rank: Determines the percentile rank for targeting.
Enable Table: Enables or disables a table display.
Methods:
Flag: Identifies bullish and bearish trend reversals.
Target Percent: Determines the expected price movement (both gains and drawdowns) based on historical trend reversals.
Value Percent: Computes the percentage difference between the current price and the entry price during trend reversals.
Plots:
Multiple target lines are plotted on the chart to visualize potential gain and drawdown levels. These levels are adjusted based on user settings. Additionally, the main Supertrend line is plotted to indicate the prevailing trend direction.
Gain Levels: Target levels which show potential upside from the current price.
Drawdown Levels: Target levels which represent potential downside from the current price.
SuperTrend Line: A line that adjusts based on price volatility and trend direction, acting as a dynamic support or resistance.
In conclusion, the "Supertrend Targets " indicator is a powerful tool that combines the principle of trend-following with dynamic targets, providing traders with insights into potential future price movements. The range of customization options allows traders to adapt the indicator to different trading strategies and market conditions.
Price Depth Analysis to the MAHello Traders! Today, I bring you an indicator that can greatly assist you in your trading. This indicator aims to analyze the Expansion and Contraction process of the price in relation to a moving average. We refer to "Expansion" when the price moves away from the moving average; a significant expansion could signal that the asset is in a strong trend. On the other hand, when we refer to "Contraction", it's when the price approaches or returns to the moving average. A contraction could signal that the asset is losing momentum and might be preparing for a trend change or consolidation.
To use the indicator, the first thing you need to do is define the type of analysis you want to perform (from the indicator settings) whether you want to evaluate prices above the moving average or below. You should also select the type of moving average and its period.
The indicator will search for the maximum distance in all the chart bars, which will be represented with a yellow label.
From that value, the indicator will generate a certain number of proportional levels (configurable up to 20) and will count all the bars that reached each level. This will be represented in a table showing both the number of bars that reached each range and the percentage in relation to the total bars of all ranges.
Additionally, there's the possibility to view the ranges directly for the current price, providing a good reference.
>> Alerts:
The indicator comes with alerts that notify traders about specific price movements in relation to a moving average (MA). These alerts are triggered when the price enters different ranges, either above or below the MA.
>> Settings:
- Type of Analysis: Users can choose to analyze the price either above or below the MA.
- Length of the moving average: Length of the MA.
- Source of the moving average: Source to calculate the MA (e.g., close, open).
- Type of moving average: Type of MA (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA).
- Show Moving Average: Option to display or hide the MA on the chart.
- Number of levels: Number of levels or ranges to categorize the distance between the price and the MA.
- Number of decimals: Number of decimals to display in labels and tables.
- Show Ranges: Option to display or hide the ranges on the chart.
- Extend Range: Extension of the ranges into future bars.
- Range Fill Transparency: Transparency of the range fill.
>> Potential Utility of the Indicator:
- Entry and Exit Optimization:
By understanding the percentages of each range, traders can identify optimal levels to enter or exit a trade, maximizing profits and minimizing losses.
- Risk Management:
Range percentages can help determine market volatility. A range with a high percentage indicates greater volatility, which can be useful for setting wider stop losses or adjusting position size.
- Overbought and Oversold Zone Identification:
If a price is at the upper or lower extreme of its percentage range, it may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, respectively. These zones can be opportunities for counter-trend trades.
- Momentum Assessment:
A rapid change in range percentages can indicate strong momentum in a particular direction. Traders can use this information to ride the momentum wave or prepare for a potential reversal.
- False Signal Filtering:
By combining range percentage knowledge with other indicators, traders can filter out signals that might be less reliable, thus improving trade accuracy.
- Strategic Planning:
Knowing range percentages allows traders to adapt their strategies according to market conditions. For instance, in a market with narrow ranges and low percentages, they might opt for range strategies. In markets with wide ranges and high percentages, they might look for trend strategies.
- Trend Strength Evaluation:
If range percentages show that the price consistently stays at one end of the range, this may signal a strong and sustained trend.
- Improved Trading Discipline:
By basing trading decisions on quantitative data like range percentages, traders can trade more objectively and disciplined, avoiding impulsive or emotion-based decisions.
>> Future Indicator Update:
- In future versions, we plan to incorporate a detailed analysis based on the historical behavior of candles after the price enters a specific range. For instance, if after an upward movement the price enters a certain range and historically, the next candle tends to be bearish in a high percentage of occasions, this information will be highlighted and presented clearly to the user. The idea behind this addition is to provide traders with a statistical edge, allowing them to anticipate potential market movements with greater accuracy. Moreover, this information could be used to seek trading opportunities in smaller timeframes, aligning the trade direction based on the probability of this mentioned candle.
>> Conclusions:
- In summary, a detailed understanding of each range's percentages in an indicator provides traders with a valuable tool to analyze the market, make informed decisions, and enhance their trading. By grasping the significance of these percentages, traders can adapt their strategies and techniques to fully leverage the opportunities the market presents.
Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/EntriesThe Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.
ADX Filter - The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to filter out weak trends and only generate buy/sell signals when the market exhibits a strong trend. The ADX measures the strength of the trend, and a customizable threshold level ensures that trades are only entered during strong trends.
ATR-based Exits and Entries - The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set profit target and stop-loss levels. ATR is a measure of market volatility, and these levels help traders determine when to exit a trade to secure profit or minimize loss.
Performance Statistics Table - A table is displayed on the chart, recording and showing the total number of winning trades, losing trades, percentage of profitable trades, average profit, and average loss. This information helps traders evaluate the performance of the strategy over time.
The Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a powerful trend-following strategy that can assist traders in making more informed decisions in the financial markets. By combining multiple technical analysis tools and providing performance statistics, this indicator helps traders improve their trading strategy and evaluate its success.
Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

Trap Trading
Trap trading is a trading strategy that seeks to profit from false breakouts in financial markets. This strategy is based on the idea that when the market breaks through a key level of support or resistance, many traders will take that as a signal to enter or exit trades, causing the price to move further in the breakout direction.
However, in some cases, the market will quickly reverse course and move in the opposite direction, trapping those traders who entered the trade based on the breakout. This can create a trading opportunity for those who are able to identify the false breakout and trade in the opposite direction.
The trap trading strategy typically involves identifying a key level of support or resistance on a price chart and then waiting for the market to break through that level. If the price continues to move in the breakout direction, the trader may enter a trade in that direction with a stop loss set just below the breakout level.
However, if the market quickly reverses and moves back below the breakout level, the trader may enter a trade in the opposite direction with a stop loss set just above the breakout level. The idea is to take advantage of the trapped traders who entered the trade based on the false breakout, and profit from the market's reversal.
As with any trading strategy, there are risks and potential drawbacks to trap trading. False breakouts can be difficult to identify, and there is always the risk that the market will continue to move in the breakout direction, resulting in losses for the trader. Additionally, trap trading requires a solid understanding of technical analysis and market trends, which may take time and experience to develop.
Quantitative Backtesting Panel + ROI Table - ShortsThis script is an aggregate of a backtesting panel with quantitative metrics, ROI table and open ROI reader. It also contains a mechanism for having a fixed percentage stop loss, similar to native TV backtester. For shorts only.
Backtesting Panel:
- Certain metrics are color coded, with green being good performance, orange being neutral, red being undesirable.
• ROI : return with the system, in %
• ROI(COMP=1): return if money is compounded at a rate of 100%
• Hit rate: accuracy of the system, as a %
• Profit factor: gross profit/gross loss
• Maximum drawdown: the maximum value from a peak to a successive trough of the system's equity curve
• MAE: Maximum Adverse Excursion. The biggest loss of a trade suffered while the position is still open

Any MA bands (TMA bands V2)Hi everyone
Website will be opening very shortly :) Sorting out the last details and we're so excited to finally roll-out our different Algorithm Builders for you guys
Forewords
This present script is an evolution of the TMA bands . I would never have expected that script to become so popular to be honest
This is not only a study or idea but a really proven method and I'm glad that many of you are using it already. But please, whenever you see a new script out there, even if it looks cool and promising, please test it on a demo account for a week or on a LIVE account but with tiny amounts every time.
Many times, what you see on the chart is not what will happen in reality. I know that most of you will agree and I know exactly why we see this behavior... I'll give more details in a later post
I have plenty of methods like that one and I'll detail them on my website (and a bit on TradingView) starting next month
TMA bands on steroids
Someone asked me privately to make a generic version of the TMA bands and make it compatible with other standards Moving Average types. That's it for the specifications really as I didn't do much than re-using some piece of my own code
Suggested (but not mandatory) methodology
1) The Take Profit 1 is the middle line, Take Profit 2 is the opposite band.
2) Once the TP1 is hit, set your Stop Loss to breakeven
3) Once the TP2 is hit, if you still want to stay in the trade, set your Stop Loss to the TP1
It will be a powerful tool in your arsenal for some scalp/intraday trades
Wishing you all of you a great and profitable day

Turtle Trade Channels by KıvanÇ fr3762his trend following system was designed by Dennis Gartman and Bill Eckhart, and relies on breakouts of historical highs and lows to take and close trades: it is the complete opposite to the "buy low and sell high" approach. This trend following system was taught to a group of average and normal individuals, and almost everyone turned into a profitable trader.
The main rule is "Trade an N-day breakout and take profits when an M-day high or low is breached (N must me above M)". Examples:
Buy a 10-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 5-day low.
Go short a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day high.
In this indicator, the red line is the trading line, and the dotted blue line is the exit line. Original system is:
Go long when the trading line crosses below close price
Go short when the trading line rosses above close price
Exit long positions when the price touches the exit line
Exit short positions when the price touches the exit line
Recommended initial stop-loss is ATR * 2 from the opening price. Default system parameters were 20,10 and 55,20.
Original Turtle Rules:
To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with TradePeriod = 20 and StopPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1)
Set up the failsafe indicator with TradePeriod = 55 and StopPeriod = 20 using a different color. (A.k.a S2)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows
Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
If last signaled trade by S1 was a win, you shouldn't trade -Irregardless of the direction or if you traded last signal it or not-
The entry strategy using S2 is as follows:
Buy 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is rallying without you
Sell 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is pluging without you
The turtles had a progressive position sizing approach that boosted their winnings. Once a trading decision has been made you should...

ATR+VWAP Alert//These signals mostly consist of crossovers between a 13 VWMA and a 62 VWMA. I've found these two moving averages to be quite special in their ability to
//recognize a quick trend using volume data. The VWAP is used in the alert system as well, to give some perspective on which direction we are looking to take. We
//are also using ATR. We only take trades when the ATR is on the move, meaning we have a chance to catch a volatile move! Finally, we use RSI to help weed out bad
//trades. We only take 'longs' with bullish readings from RSI, and we only take 'shorts' with bearish readings from RSI. These alerts are fantastic for catching quick intraday
//trades in either direction. I recommend using a small 'take profit' target rather than using an exit indicator. These trades can move 20-30 pips and reverse just as quickly. Good luck!
//How To Use:
//When the alert system is added to the chart, you will notice up/down symbols appear at various locations. For bullish alerts, right click an 'Up' symbol and choose 'Add Alert on VWap & ATR..'
//There are two condition options. 'Long/short', and right below that 'Buy-Signal/Sell-Signal'. Choose 'long' and 'Buy-Signal'. At options, choose 'Once Per Bar Close'. Design your alert, and you're good to go.
//For bearish signals, find a 'down' signal on the chart. Right click and follow the same process, except choosing 'short/Sell-Signal' conditions.
Tips:
Use VWAP as a stop-loss. If a candle closes below/above the VWAP in the direction against you.. get out of the trade. The losses will be minimal and few compared to the wins. Use discretion and trade carefully. This works great with crypto. Invent your own exit. If you come up with a clever exit, please share!

VSA-Stopping VolumeVSA Stopping Volume Indicator
Stopping Volume occurs when candles show decreasing body sizes (narrow spreads) while volume steadily increases.
Example chart:
As you see:
3 consecutive candles in same direction (all green OR all red)
Body sizes (spreads) decreasing progressively: Candle 1 > Candle 2 > Candle 3
Volume increasing progressively: Volume 1 < Volume 2 < Volume 3
This pattern indicates price absorption - increased buying/selling pressure but declining price movement, often signaling exhaustion and potential reversal.
Indicator Features
This indicator detects Stopping Volume candlestick clusters with two signal types:
🔹 BUY/SELL Signals: Generated when pattern occurs at support/resistance zones
🔹 Directional Alerts (▲-green, ▼-red): Generated when pattern occurs outside key levels
Trading Guidelines:
⚠️ Auto-drawn S/R zones are reference only - manual level plotting recommended for accuracy
📊 Best for scalping: M5, M10, M15 timeframes
🛡️ Stop Loss: Place beyond the S/R zone you're trading
🎯 Take Profit: Based on your risk management
Key Concept: Volume expansion + price contraction = potential reversal, especially at SnR levels.
Perfect for scalpers looking to catch reversals at critical zones!
Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance EngineAetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine (AIMRE)
A Three-Pillar Framework for Decoding Institutional Activity
🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine (AIMRE) is a multi-faceted analysis system designed to move beyond conventional indicators and decode the market's underlying structure as dictated by institutional capital flow. Its philosophy is built on a singular premise: significant market moves are preceded by a convergence of context , location , and timing . Aetherium quantifies these three dimensions through a revolutionary three-pillar architecture.
This system is not a simple combination of indicators; it is an integrated engine where each pillar's analysis feeds into a central logic core. A signal is only generated when all three pillars achieve a state of resonance, indicating a high-probability alignment between market organization, key liquidity levels, and cyclical momentum.
⚡ THE THREE-PILLAR ARCHITECTURE
1. 🌌 PILLAR I: THE COHERENCE ENGINE (THE 'CONTEXT')
Purpose: To measure the degree of organization within the market. This pillar answers the question: " Is the market acting with a unified purpose, or is it chaotic and random? "
Conceptual Framework: Institutional campaigns (accumulation or distribution) create a non-random, organized market environment. Retail-driven or directionless markets are characterized by "noise" and chaos. The Coherence Engine acts as a filter to ensure we only engage when institutional players are actively steering the market.
Formulaic Concept:
Coherence = f(Dominance, Synchronization)
Dominance Factor: Calculates the absolute difference between smoothed buying pressure (volume-weighted bullish candles) and smoothed selling pressure (volume-weighted bearish candles), normalized by total pressure. A high value signifies a clear winner between buyers and sellers.
Synchronization Factor: Measures the correlation between the streams of buying and selling pressure over the analysis window. A high positive correlation indicates synchronized, directional activity, while a negative correlation suggests choppy, conflicting action.
The final Coherence score (0-100) represents the percentage of market organization. A high score is a prerequisite for any signal, filtering out unpredictable market conditions.
2. 💎 PILLAR II: HARMONIC LIQUIDITY MATRIX (THE 'LOCATION')
Purpose: To identify and map high-impact institutional footprints. This pillar answers the question: " Where have institutions previously committed significant capital? "
Conceptual Framework: Large institutional orders leave indelible marks on the market in the form of anomalous volume spikes at specific price levels. These are not random occurrences but are areas of intense historical interest. The Harmonic Liquidity Matrix finds these footprints and consolidates them into actionable support and resistance zones called "Harmonic Nodes."
Algorithmic Process:
Footprint Identification: The engine scans the historical lookback period for candles where volume > average_volume * Institutional_Volume_Filter. This identifies statistically significant volume events.
Node Creation: A raw node is created at the mean price of the identified candle.
Dynamic Clustering: The engine uses an ATR-based proximity algorithm. If a new footprint is identified within Node_Clustering_Distance (ATR) of an existing Harmonic Node, it is merged. The node's price is volume-weighted, and its magnitude is increased. This prevents chart clutter and consolidates nearby institutional orders into a single, more significant level.
Node Decay: Nodes that are older than the Institutional_Liquidity_Scanback period are automatically removed from the chart, ensuring the analysis remains relevant to recent market dynamics.
3. 🌊 PILLAR III: CYCLICAL RESONANCE MATRIX (THE 'TIMING')
Purpose: To identify the market's dominant rhythm and its current phase. This pillar answers the question: " Is the market's immediate energy flowing up or down? "
Conceptual Framework: Markets move in waves and cycles of varying lengths. Trading in harmony with the current cyclical phase dramatically increases the probability of success. Aetherium employs a simplified wavelet analysis concept to decompose price action into short, medium, and long-term cycles.
Algorithmic Process:
Cycle Decomposition: The engine calculates three oscillators based on the difference between pairs of Exponential Moving Averages (e.g., EMA8-EMA13 for short cycle, EMA21-EMA34 for medium cycle).
Energy Measurement: The 'energy' of each cycle is determined by its recent volatility (standard deviation). The cycle with the highest energy is designated as the "Dominant Cycle."
Phase Analysis: The engine determines if the dominant cycles are in a bullish phase (rising from a trough) or a bearish phase (falling from a peak).
Cycle Sync: The highest conviction timing signals occur when multiple cycles (e.g., short and medium) are synchronized in the same direction, indicating broad-based momentum.
🔧 COMPREHENSIVE INPUT SYSTEM
Pillar I: Market Coherence Engine
Coherence Analysis Window (10-50, Default: 21): The lookback period for the Coherence Engine.
Lower Values (10-15): Highly responsive to rapid shifts in market control. Ideal for scalping but can be sensitive to noise.
Balanced (20-30): Excellent for day trading, capturing the ebb and flow of institutional sessions.
Higher Values (35-50): Smoother, more stable reading. Best for swing trading and identifying long-term institutional campaigns.
Coherence Activation Level (50-90%, Default: 70%): The minimum market organization required to enable signal generation.
Strict (80-90%): Only allows signals in extremely clear, powerful trends. Fewer, but potentially higher quality signals.
Standard (65-75%): A robust filter that effectively removes choppy conditions while capturing most valid institutional moves.
Lenient (50-60%): Allows signals in less-organized markets. Can be useful in ranging markets but may increase false signals.
Pillar II: Harmonic Liquidity Matrix
Institutional Liquidity Scanback (100-400, Default: 200): How far back the engine looks for institutional footprints.
Short (100-150): Focuses on recent institutional activity, providing highly relevant, immediate levels.
Long (300-400): Identifies major, long-term structural levels. These nodes are often extremely powerful but may be less frequent.
Institutional Volume Filter (1.3-3.0, Default: 1.8): The multiplier for detecting a volume spike.
High (2.5-3.0): Only registers climactic, undeniable institutional volume. Fewer, but more significant nodes.
Low (1.3-1.7): More sensitive, identifying smaller but still relevant institutional interest.
Node Clustering Distance (0.2-0.8 ATR, Default: 0.4): The ATR-based distance for merging nearby nodes.
High (0.6-0.8): Creates wider, more consolidated zones of liquidity.
Low (0.2-0.3): Creates more numerous, precise, and distinct levels.
Pillar III: Cyclical Resonance Matrix
Cycle Resonance Analysis (30-100, Default: 50): The lookback for determining cycle energy and dominance.
Short (30-40): Tunes the engine to faster, shorter-term market rhythms. Best for scalping.
Long (70-100): Aligns the timing component with the larger primary trend. Best for swing trading.
Institutional Signal Architecture
Signal Quality Mode (Professional, Elite, Supreme): Controls the strictness of the three-pillar confluence.
Professional: Loosest setting. May generate signals if two of the three pillars are in strong alignment. Increases signal frequency.
Elite: Balanced setting. Requires a clear, unambiguous resonance of all three pillars. The recommended default.
Supreme: Most stringent. Requires perfect alignment of all three pillars, with each pillar exhibiting exceptionally strong readings (e.g., coherence > 85%). The highest conviction signals.
Signal Spacing Control (5-25, Default: 10): The minimum bars between signals to prevent clutter and redundant alerts.
🎨 ADVANCED VISUAL SYSTEM
The visual architecture of Aetherium is designed not merely for aesthetics, but to provide an intuitive, at-a-glance understanding of the complex data being processed.
Harmonic Liquidity Nodes: The core visual element. Displayed as multi-layered, semi-transparent horizontal boxes.
Magnitude Visualization: The height and opacity of a node's "glow" are proportional to its volume magnitude. More significant nodes appear brighter and larger, instantly drawing the eye to key levels.
Color Coding: Standard nodes are blue/purple, while exceptionally high-magnitude nodes are highlighted in an accent color to denote critical importance.
🌌 Quantum Resonance Field: A dynamic background gradient that visualizes the overall market environment.
Color: Shifts from cool blues/purples (low coherence) to energetic greens/cyans (high coherence and organization), providing instant context.
Intensity: The brightness and opacity of the field are influenced by total market energy (a composite of coherence, momentum, and volume), making powerful market states visually apparent.
💎 Crystalline Lattice Matrix: A geometric web of lines projected from a central moving average.
Mathematical Basis: Levels are projected using multiples of the Golden Ratio (Phi ≈ 1.618) and the ATR. This visualizes the natural harmonic and fractal structure of the market. It is not arbitrary but is based on mathematical principles of market geometry.
🧠 Synaptic Flow Network: A dynamic particle system visualizing the engine's "thought process."
Node Density & Activation: The number of particles and their brightness/color are tied directly to the Market Coherence score. In high-coherence states, the network becomes a dense, bright, and organized web. In chaotic states, it becomes sparse and dim.
⚡ Institutional Energy Waves: Flowing sine waves that visualize market volatility and rhythm.
Amplitude & Speed: The height and speed of the waves are directly influenced by the ATR and volume, providing a feel for market energy.
📊 INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL MATRIX (DASHBOARD)
The dashboard is the central command console, providing a real-time, quantitative summary of each pillar's status.
Header: Displays the script title and version.
Coherence Engine Section:
State: Displays a qualitative assessment of market organization: ◉ PHASE LOCK (High Coherence), ◎ ORGANIZING (Moderate Coherence), or ○ CHAOTIC (Low Coherence). Color-coded for immediate recognition.
Power: Shows the precise Coherence percentage and a directional arrow (↗ or ↘) indicating if organization is increasing or decreasing.
Liquidity Matrix Section:
Nodes: Displays the total number of active Harmonic Liquidity Nodes currently being tracked.
Target: Shows the price level of the nearest significant Harmonic Node to the current price, representing the most immediate institutional level of interest.
Cycle Matrix Section:
Cycle: Identifies the currently dominant market cycle (e.g., "MID ") based on cycle energy.
Sync: Indicates the alignment of the cyclical forces: ▲ BULLISH , ▼ BEARISH , or ◆ DIVERGENT . This is the core timing confirmation.
Signal Status Section:
A unified status bar that provides the final verdict of the engine. It will display "QUANTUM SCAN" during neutral periods, or announce the tier and direction of an active signal (e.g., "◉ TIER 1 BUY ◉" ), highlighted with the appropriate color.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
Aetherium's signal logic is built on the principle of strict, non-negotiable confluence.
Condition 1: Context (Coherence Filter): The Market Coherence must be above the Coherence Activation Level. No signals can be generated in a chaotic market.
Condition 2: Location (Liquidity Node Interaction): Price must be actively interacting with a significant Harmonic Liquidity Node.
For a Buy Signal: Price must be rejecting the Node from below (testing it as support).
For a Sell Signal: Price must be rejecting the Node from above (testing it as resistance).
Condition 3: Timing (Cycle Alignment): The Cyclical Resonance Matrix must confirm that the dominant cycles are synchronized with the intended trade direction.
Signal Tiering: The Signal Quality Mode input determines how strictly these three conditions must be met. 'Supreme' mode, for example, might require not only that the conditions are met, but that the Market Coherence is exceptionally high and the interaction with the Node is accompanied by a significant volume spike.
Signal Spacing: A final filter ensures that signals are spaced by a minimum number of bars, preventing over-alerting in a single move.
🚀 ADVANCED TRADING STRATEGIES
The Primary Confluence Strategy: The intended use of the system. Wait for a Tier 1 (Elite/Supreme) or Tier 2 (Professional/Elite) signal to appear on the chart. This represents the alignment of all three pillars. Enter after the signal bar closes, with a stop-loss placed logically on the other side of the Harmonic Node that triggered the signal.
The Coherence Context Strategy: Use the Coherence Engine as a standalone market filter. When Coherence is high (>70%), favor trend-following strategies. When Coherence is low (<50%), avoid new directional trades or favor range-bound strategies. A sharp drop in Coherence during a trend can be an early warning of a trend's exhaustion.
Node-to-Node Trading: In a high-coherence environment, use the Harmonic Liquidity Nodes as both entry points and profit targets. For example, after a BUY signal is generated at one Node, the next Node above it becomes a logical first profit target.
⚖️ RESPONSIBLE USAGE AND LIMITATIONS
Decision Support, Not a Crystal Ball: Aetherium is an advanced decision-support tool. It is designed to identify high-probability conditions based on a model of institutional behavior. It does not predict the future.
Risk Management is Paramount: No indicator can replace a sound risk management plan. Always use appropriate position sizing and stop-losses. The signals provided are probabilistic, not certainties.
Past Performance Disclaimer: The market models used in this script are based on historical data. While robust, there is no guarantee that these patterns will persist in the future. Market conditions can and do change.
Not a "Set and Forget" System: The indicator performs best when its user understands the concepts behind the three pillars. Use the dashboard and visual cues to build a comprehensive view of the market before acting on a signal.
Backtesting is Essential: Before applying this tool to live trading, it is crucial to backtest and forward-test it on your preferred instruments and timeframes to understand its unique behavior and characteristics.
🔮 CONCLUSION
The Aetherium Institutional Market Resonance Engine represents a paradigm shift from single-variable analysis to a holistic, multi-pillar framework. By quantifying the abstract concepts of market context, location, and timing into a unified, logical system, it provides traders with an unprecedented lens into the mechanics of institutional market operations.
It is not merely an indicator, but a complete analytical engine designed to foster a deeper understanding of market dynamics. By focusing on the core principles of institutional order flow, Aetherium empowers traders to filter out market noise, identify key structural levels, and time their entries in harmony with the market's underlying rhythm.

ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator & FIB's by TenAMTraderSummary: ORB Advanced Cloud Indicator with Alerts and Fibonacci Retracement Targets by TenAMTrader
This TradingView script is an advanced version of the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator, enhanced with visual clouds and Fibonacci retracement/extension levels. It is designed to help traders identify key price levels and track price movements relative to those levels throughout the trading day. The script includes alert functionalities to notify traders when price crosses key levels and when Fibonacci levels are reached, which can serve as potential entry and exit targets.
Key Features:
Primary and Secondary Range Calculation:
The indicator calculates the primary range (defined by a start and end time) and optionally, a secondary range.
The primary range includes the highest and lowest prices during the designated time period, as well as the midpoint of this range.
The secondary range (if enabled) tracks another price range during a second time period, with its own high, low, and midpoint.
Visual Clouds:
The script draws colored clouds between the high, midpoint, and low of the opening range.
The upper cloud spans between the Opening High and Midpoint, while the lower cloud spans between the Midpoint and Opening Low.
Similarly, a second set of clouds can be drawn for the secondary range (if enabled).
Fibonacci Levels:
The script calculates Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on the primary range (the difference between the Opening High and Opening Low).
Fibonacci levels can be used as entry and exit targets in a trading strategy, as these levels often act as potential support/resistance zones.
Fibonacci levels include standard values like -0.236, -0.382, -0.618, and positive extensions like 1.236, 1.618, etc.
Customizable Alerts:
Alerts can be set to trigger when:
The price crosses above the Opening High.
The price crosses below the Opening Low.
The price crosses the Opening Midpoint.
These alerts can help traders act quickly on important price movements relative to the opening range.
Customization Options:
The indicator allows users to adjust the time settings for both the primary and secondary ranges.
Custom colors can be set for the lines, clouds, and Fibonacci levels.
The visibility of each line and cloud can be toggled on or off, giving users flexibility in how the chart is displayed.
Fibonacci Levels Overview:
The script includes several Fibonacci retracement and extension levels:
Negative Retracements (e.g., -0.236, -0.382, -0.50, -0.618, etc.) are plotted below the Opening Low, and can act as potential support levels in a downtrend.
Positive Extensions (e.g., 1.236, 1.382, 1.618, 2.0, etc.) are plotted above the Opening High, and can act as potential resistance levels in an uptrend.
Fib levels can be used as entry and exit targets to capitalize on price reversals or breakouts.

CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.
